Hi Randy, First of all in my opinion you are using the best paint to ever come down the pipe for railroad models. The weathering colors in that line are what I have always called "developing colors" as they seem to intensify as they dry. So use them sparingly. My favorite is grimy black thinned about 50% and lightly oversprayed to create a dirty feeling/look to the model. Some of the greys also make very nice dust colors. I don't really care for the rust color...preffer to do that with chalk...but when blended with reffer white and just a drop of caboose red it makes a darn nice flesh color for your little people. You can also use the Poly Scale over regular Folquil with no problems. When the weathering is done I like to overspray the whole thing with a couple of light coats of the Poly Scale flat...seems to bring it all together. Just experiment with it...you'll come up with some combinations you like...Hope this helped....Vic
